    Description

    The Department of Commerce, specifically the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has issued a Sources Sought Notice for Mid-IR Optical Frequency Comb Systems to support its CHIPS Metrology Program's Grand Challenge 1. NIST requires three systems for applications in broadband spectroscopy, spectral reference databases, and new laser diagnostics in semiconductor processes, along with an additional system to fill a critical gap in long-wave infrared spectroradiometry and molecular spectroscopy for the space, defense, and satellite industries. Interested vendors are invited to provide information regarding their capabilities, including product specifications, customization options, and available services, while ensuring that proprietary information is not disclosed. Responses should be submitted via email to Forest Crumpler at forest.crumpler@nist.gov, as NIST seeks to gather market insights to inform future procurement decisions.

    NIST has issued a Sources Sought Notice (NIST-SS26-CHIPS-13) to conduct market research for Mid-IR Optical Frequency Comb Systems. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires three such systems to support the CHIPS Metrology Program's Grand Challenge 1, focusing on materials purity, properties, and provenance in chip manufacturing. These systems will be used for broadband spectroscopy, spectral reference databases, and new laser diagnostics in semiconductor processes. Additionally, one system is needed to address a critical gap in long-wave infrared spectroradiometry and molecular spectroscopy (5 μm to 100 μm) to support the space, defense, and satellite industries. The notice seeks information from potential sources capable of providing these systems, including company details, product specifications, customization capabilities, manufacturing location, NAICS code information, available services (installation, training, maintenance), standard terms and conditions, facility renovation services, pricing, existing federal contracts, and customer references. Responses should avoid proprietary information and be submitted via email to the listed contacts.
